Installation

The motor must be installed in an absolutely horizontal position in a vibration-free, oscillation-free and re-resistant location

If the motor and the mirror ball are to be operated above persons, additional risks arise. A hazard analysis based on the

location and application must be performed. Both the motor and mirror ball must meet the safety regulations regarding

safety and operation.

The installation point of the mirror ball has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 7 times the weight of the mir-

ror ball for one hour without any deformation.

The unit must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. This secondary attachment must be constructed in a

way that no part of the unit can fall if the main attachment fails.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the unit, no persons should be in the area below/above the installation, or in other areas

which may be a hazard.

The operator has to make sure that safety relating and machine technical installations are approved by a competent,

qualied expert before starting operation for the rst time and before starting operation if changes have been made

to the installation.

Attachment:

The rotary motor should ideally be installed away from areas where persons may walk by or be seated under.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculation of work load

limits, installation materials being used, and periodic safety inspections of all installation materials and the mirror ball. If you

lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper

installation can result in bodily injury and/or damage to property.

The motor and mirror ball have to be installed out of the reach of people.

If the motor is to be lowered from the ceiling or high joists a professional rigging system must be used. The motor must never

be xed swinging freely.

The motor must always be installed via all xing holes. Only use appropriate screws and make sure screws are properly

attached to the material point.

The durability of the installation depends very much on the material used at the installation area (building materials) such

as wood, concrete, brick etc. Always ask a specialist for the correct plug/screw combination by specifying the maximum load

and the building material.

DANGER TO LIFE!

PLEASE CONSIDER THE EN 60598-2-17 AND THE RESPECTIVE NATIONAL

REGULATIONS DURING THE INSTALLATION. THE INSTALLATION MUST ONLY

BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT AND QUALIFIED INSTALLER!

www.prolight.co.uk DMX Mirror Ball Rotator User Manual 5

Installation & maintenance

The ttings used for installation must never include abrading material

eg steel cables in order to avoid wear through abrasion.

The length of the chain must never exceed 100cm.

Install the mirror ball chain with the screw-on chain link at the installation eyelet of the mirror ball and tighten with the

xing screw.

Insert the fourth chain link of the mirror ball chain with the mirror ball in the screw-on chain link and tighten the xing screw.

For overhead use, always install a safety chain on the mirror ball that can hold at least 7 times the weight of the complete

installation. The safety chain must always be slightly longer than the mirror ball chain so the safety chain will always be

tension-free. Attach the safety chain to the safety eyelet on the mirror ball and then onto the safety eyelet on the motor.

The maximum drop distance for any safety device must never exceed 20cm.

A safety chain which has already taken the strain of a drop, or which is defective, must not be used again and must

be replaced.

The mirror ball must never be hung from the safety eyelet. Loads must only be hung on the motor axle. If a mirror ball hangs

for any reason from the safety eye, the motor must be taken out of operation immediately and the mirror ball must be

uninstalled. The whole installation must be checked for any defects by a competent, qualied expert.

Make sure the rotation of the mirror ball is never slowed or stopped by decoration material etc.

Make sure that no side forces can impact on the installation.

Please check at regular intervals, if the installation material or chain links have become deformed. Uninstall the mirror ball

immediately in such a case.

Cleaning & maintenance:

The operator has to make sure that safety relating and machine technical installations are approved by a competent,

qualied expert after every four years in the form of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that safety relating

and machine technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1 - All screws used for installing the motor or parts of the motor have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.

2 - There must not be any deformities on housings, xings and installation points (ceilings, trussing).

3 - Mechanically moving parts like axles and safety eyes must not show any traces of wearing (e.g. material abrading or

damages) and must not rotate with any unbalance.

4 - The electric power supply cables must not show any damage or, material fatigue. Further instructions depending on the

installation point and usage have to be adhered to by a skilled installer.

We recommend frequent cleaning of the motor. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never use alcohol or

solvents! There are no serviceable parts inside this motor. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out

by authorised dealers.

Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts. If the power supply cable of this unit is damaged, it has to be

replaced by an authorised dealer only in order to avoid hazards. If defective, please dispose of the motor in accordance with

current legal regulations. Should you have any further questions, please contact your dealer.

DANGER TO LIFE!

DISCONNECT FROM MAINS BEFORE STARTING MAINTENANCE OPERATION.

Operating instructions

Master/slave operation:

The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master device.

On the rear panel of the device you can nd an XLR jack and an XLR plug, which can be used for connecting several devices.

Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all other

slave devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX-cable. Connect the OUT jack with the IN plug

of the next device.

Please see further instructions under Operation on page 6.

Connection with mains:

Connect the device to the mains with the power plug.

The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:

Attention! The earth has to be connected!

If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network,

a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3mm at every pole has to

be included in the permanent electrical installation.

The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in

compliance with the IEC standards. The electric installation must be equipped

with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30mA.

Operation:

The device has two operating modes. It can be operated via DIP Switches or it can be run in DMX-controlled mode.

Operation via dip switches:

Manual Mode: Rotation Direction and Speed

In order to select Manual Mode, set DIP- switch 10 to OFF.

Rotation speed can be selected via DIP-switch 1: 0.5 RPM = ON; 1 RPM = OFF.

Rotation direction can be selected via DIP-switch 2: clockwise = OFF; counterclockwise = ON.

DIP-switches 3 to 9 have no function.

Master/slave:

In order to select the Master unit, set DIP-switch 10 to ON. Set DIP-switch 10 to OFF on the Slave devices.

DMX controlled operation:

You can control the devices individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different

features. For DMX-controlled operation set DIP Switch 10 to ON. Use DIP Switches 1 to 9 to set the desired DMX addresses.

Addressing:

Each DMX rotator occupies 1 channel. To ensure that the control signals are properly directed to each device, the device

requires addressing. This is to be adjusted for every single device by changing the DIP-switches as set out in the table below.

The starting address is dened as the rst channel from which the device will respond to the controller.

Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device correctly and independently

from any other xture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

Setting the DMX address:

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a “start address” from 1- 512.

A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address.

For example, a xture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read

data from channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap.

E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

DMX 512:

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent xtures and controllers.

A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels

from xture to xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only

have a data “out” terminal).

DMX linking:

DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single

controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using

several DMX xtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does

not inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX

line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX

controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):

This xture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX

address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit and your

DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector

for data input/output, see image.

Also remember that DMX cable must

be daisy chained and cannot be split.
